planting zoysia seed

I’m wanting to plant zoysia grass from the seed. Do I need to put down straw when doing so? I’m planning on roto tilling the area. I’m wanting to seed and laying down plenty of zoysia seed. Any thought on how to get it to grow the best I can?

Yes, you should cover the seeded area with straw to retail soil moisture during the germination period. For guidelines on how to seed your lawn along with watering recommendations to help establish your grass root system, please visit the following extension website:
